Upside Down Databases: Bridging the Operational and Analytic Worlds with StreamsApr 7th, 2015
Remember the days when people would write entire applications, embedded inside a database? It seems a bit crazy now when you think about it. Imagine writing an entire application in SQL. I worked on a beast like that, very briefly, in the late 1990s. It had a few shell scripts but everything else was SQL. Everything. Suffice to say it wasn't much fun – you can probably imagine – but there was a slightly perverse simplicity to the whole thing.
So Martin Kleppmann did a talk recently around the idea of turning databases inside out. I like this idea. It's a nice way to frame a problem that has lurked unresolved for years. To paraphrase somewhat… databases do very cool stuff: caching, indexes, replication, materialised views. These are very cool things. They do them well too. It's a shame that they're locked in a world dislocated from general consumer programs.
There are also a few things missing, like databases don't really do events, streams, messaging, whatever you want to call it. Some newer ones do, but none cover what you might call 'general purpose' streams. This means the query-driven paradigm often leaks into the application space. Applications end up circling around centralised mutable state. Whilst there are valid use cases for this, the rigid and synchronous world produced can be counterproductive for many types of programs.

REWIND: Recovery Write-Ahead System for In-Memory Non-Volatile Data-Structures
Interesting paper on write ahead logs in persistent in memory media. Recent non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies, such as PCM, STT-MRAM and ReRAM, can act as both main memory and storage. This has led to research into NVM programming models, where persistent data structures remain in memory and are accessed directly through CPU loads and stores. REWIND outperforms state-of-the-art approaches for data structure recoverability as well as general purpose and NVM-aware DBMS-based recovery schemes by up to two orders of magnitude.
Asterix is an academically established hierarchical store. It's now an Apache Incubator project. It utilises sets of LSM structures, tied transactionally together. Additional index structures can also be formed, for example R-Trees.
Staring into the Abyss: An Evaluation of Concurrency Control with One Thousand Cores
As the number of cores increases, the complexity of coordinating competing accesses to data will likely diminish the gains from increased core counts.We conclude that rather than pursuing incremental solutions, many-core chips may require a completely redesigned DBMS architecture that is built from ground up and is tightly coupled with the hardware.
Log Structured Merge TreesFeb 14th, 2015
It's nearly a decade since Google released its 'Big Table' paper. One of the many cool aspects of that paper was the file organisation it uses. The approach is more generally known as the Log Structured Merge Tree, after this 1996 paper (although not specifically referenced as such by Google).
LSM is now used in a number of products as the main file organisation strategy. HBase, Cassandra, LevelDB, SQLite, even MongoDB 3.0 comes with an optional LSM engine, after it's acquisition of Wired Tiger.
What makes LSM trees interesting is their departure from binary tree style file organisations that have dominated the space for decades. LSM seems almost counter intuitive when you first look at it, only making sense when you closely consider how files work in modern, memory heavy systems.
Some Background
In a nutshell LSM trees are designed to provide better write throughput than traditional B+ tree or ISAM approaches. They do this by removing the need to perform random update-in-place operations.
So why is this a good idea? At its core it's the old problem of disks being slow for random operations, but fast when accessed sequentially. A gulf exists between these two types of access, regardless of whether the disk is magnetic or solid state or even, although to a lesser extent, main memory.
The figures in this ACM report here/here make the point well. They show that, somewhat counter intuitively, sequential disk access is faster than randomly accessing main memory. More relevantly they also show sequential access to disk, be it magnetic or SSD, to be at least three orders of magnitude faster and random IO. This means random operations are to be avoided. Sequential access is well worth designing for.
So with this in mind lets consider a little thought experiment: if we are interested in write throughput, what is the best method to use? A good starting point is to simply append data to a file. This approach, often termed logging, journaling or a heap file, is fully sequential so provides very fast write performance equivalent to theoretical disk speeds (typically 200-300MB/s per drive).
Benefiting from both simplicity and performance log/journal based approaches have rightfully become popular in many big data tools. Yet they have an obvious downside. Reading arbitrary data from a log will be far more time consuming than writing to it, involving a reverse chronological scan, until the required key is found. (more…)
List of Database/BigData BenchmarksFeb 13th, 2015
I did some research at the end of last year looking at the relative performance of different types of databases: key value, Hadoop, NoSQL, relational.
I've started a collaborative list of the various benchmarks I came across. There are many! Checkout below and contribute if you know of any more (link).
Building a Career in TechnologyJan 2nd, 2015
I was asked to talk to some young technologists about about their career path in technology. These are my notes which wander somewhat between career and general advice.
- Don't assume progress means a career into management – unless you really love management. If you do, great, do that. You'll get paid well, but it will come with downsides too. Focus on what you enjoy.
- Don't confuse management with autonomy or power, it alone will give you neither. If you work in a company, you will always have a boss. The value you provide to the company gives you autonomy. Power comes mostly from the respect others have for you. Leadership and management are not synonymous. Be valuable by doing things that you love.
- If you want to be a good programmer a foundation in Computer Science is really important. If you didn't do undergrad CS (like me) you need to compensate. Ensure you know the basics well (data structures, algorithms, hardware architecture, networks, security etc). Learn this sooner rather than later as knowledge compounds.
- Practice communicating your ideas. Blog, convince friends, colleagues, use github, whatever. If you want to change things you need to communicate your ideas, finding ways to reach your different audiences. If you see something that seems wrong, try to change it by both communicating and by doing.
- Try to always have one side project (either in work or outside) bubbling along. Something that's not directly part of your job. Go to a hack night, learn a new language, write a new website, whatever. Something that makes you learn in new avenues.
- Sometimes things don't come off the way you expect. Normally there is something good in there anyway. This is ok.
- The T-shaped people idea from the Valve handbook is a good way to think about your personal development. What's your heavy weaponry?
- It's cliched but so very true: Don't prematurely optimise. Know that all good engineers do. All of them. Including you. Even if you don't think you do, you probably do. Realise this about yourself and fight it.
- If you think any particular technology is the best thing since sliced bread, and it's somewhere near a top of the Gartner hype-curve, you are probably not seeing the full picture yet. Be critical of your own opinions and look for bias in yourself.
- In my experience the most important characteristic of a good company is that its employee's assume, by default, that the rest of the company are smart people. If the modus operandi of a company (or worse, a team) is 'everyone else is an idiot' look elsewhere.
- If you're motivated to do something, try to capitalise on that motivation there and then and enjoy the productivity that comes with it. Motivation is your most precious commodity.
- Learn to control your reaction to negative situations. The term 'well-adjusted' means exactly that. Start with email. Never press send if you feel angry or slighted. In tricky situations stick purely to facts and remove all subjective or emotional content. Let the tricky situation diffuse organically. Doing this face to face takes more practice as you need to notice the onset of stress and then cage your reaction, but the rules are the same (stick to facts, avoid emotional language, let it go).
- If you offend someone always apologise. Even if you are right about whatever it was it is unlikely you intention was to offend them.
- Recognise the difference between being politically right and emotionally right. As humans we're great at creating plausible rationalisations/justifications for our actions, both to ourselves and others. Rationalisations are often a 'sign' of us covering an emotional mistake. Learn to look past them to your moral compass.
A Guide to building a Central, Consolidated Data Store for a CompanyDec 2nd, 2014
Quite a few company's are looking at some form of centralised operational store, data warehouse, or analytics platform. The company I work for set out to build a centralised scale-out operational store using NoSQL technologies five or six years ago and it's been an interesting journey. The technology landscape has changed a lot in that time, particularly around analytics, although that was not our main focus (but it will be an area of growth). Having an operational store that is used by many teams is, in many ways, harder than an analytics platform as there is a greater need for real time consistency. The below is essentially a brain dump on the subject.
On Inter-System (Enterprise) Architecture
- Having a single schema for the data in your company has little value unless you use it to write down the data it describes as a permanent record. Standardising the wire format alone can create more problems than it solves. Avoid Enterprise Messaging Schemas for the the problem of bulk state transfer between data stores (see here). Do use messages/messaging for notifying the need to act.
- Prefer direct access at source, using data virtualisation. Where that doesn't work (high cardinality joins) collocate data using with replication technologies (relational or via NoSQL) to materialise read only clones of the source. Avoid enterprise messaging.
- Federated approaches, which leave data sets in place, will get you there faster if you can get all the different parts of the company to conform. That itself is a big ask though, but a good technical strategy can help. Expect to spend a lot on operations and automation lining disparate datasets up with one another.
- When standardising the persisted representation don't create a single schema upfront if you can help it. You'll end up in EDW paralysis. Evolve to it over time.
- Start with disparate data models and converge them incrementally over time using schema-on-need (and yes you can do this relationally, it's just a bit harder).

Nebraska Court Dismisses Same-Sex Divorce Appeal
Nebraska's Supreme Court dismissed an appeal Friday by woman legally wed to another woman in Iowa who is now seeking a divorce in the state where they live, saying it didn't have jurisdiction and therefore could not address the constitutional arguments raised about same-sex marriage and divorce in Nebraska.
Bonnie Nichols of Raymond married her longtime partner in 2009 and filed for divorce last year, but a Lancaster County judge ruled that the court couldn't grant a divorce without recognizing the marriage.
Same-sex marriages began in Iowa in 2009, after the state's Supreme Court struck down a law that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Iowa state law requires couples seeking a divorce in the state to live there for one year beforehand. Nebraska, meanwhile, doesn't recognize same-sex marriages, civil unions or domestic partnerships because of a constitutional amendment that was overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2000.
The state attorney general's office, in a friend of the court brief, argued that allowing the divorce would run afoul of the state's constitutional amendment and that granting the divorce "would in effect disenfranchise 70 percent of Nebraska's voters (who voted for the amendment)."
Nichols' attorney, Megan Mikolajczyk, had argued that the U.S. Constitution's "full faith and credit" clause requires Nebraska to recognize the marriage.
But Nebraska's Supreme Court dismissed the case without addressing constitutional issues, saying that because Nichols had appealed from a conditional order and not a final judgment, it lacks jurisdiction over the appeal.

New England dared Wilson to beat the secondary over the top, and that's exactly what he did while displaying good arm strength and accuracy on the deep ball.

k ladies, I'm at my wits end..Sleep issues.
J was up last night like 7 times. (He slept from 9-11, 1-3, 4-5) For no reason. (room is too dark, pillow too small, needs water, needs to potty, and "I don't like to sleep", "I don't like my bed"). Nothing has changed, he isn't sick..doesn't snore, had never had nightmares that I can tell. This has been going on for a month, I think he STTN 2x last week but otherwise this is the pattern he's been sleeping in for probably 3+ weeks. It was compounded by the fact that I let him sleep with me for 2 nights when family was here, but this started well before that and that was 2 weeks ago. He spent 2 nights at my mom and dads house (which he does often) and did the same thing both nights.
I have always rocked him to sleep, he STTN for a solid 2+ years with no issue. If he'd wake at night, I'd rock him for like 2 min and lay him down and he'd go back to sleep for the rest of the night. I'd immediately think I need to stop rocking him, but I always have and he's always slept great. He doesn't remember waking at night, he wakes every morning telling me he slept great and didn't wake at all (I have had a number of talks with him about how if we don't sleep we wont have energy to do fun things during the day).
He's not on any new meds, he's not eating different. He's grown like 3 inches in the past 3 months. He doesn't take naps (hasn't for a year) but I have been putting him down for naps on the days after he sleeps awful so at least he gets a little more sleep.
What on earth do I do??
Sleep issues (or NO sleep).
k ladies, I'm at my wits end..Sleep issues.

Julia has never been a "good sleeper", but here lately she has really been having a hard time getting enough rest too. She has grown a good bit in the past few months and been super grouchy, whiney and clingy. I think it's just a really long growth spurt for thier bodies and brains. She plays hard all day long and just can't wind down enough to get good rest. Sometimes her mind is raceing so that she has to stop and really concentrate on what she wants to tell us when normally she can carry on a conversation with no problem. Just hang in there and as I have to tell myself everyday, this too shall pass

Thank you, I know it will pass. He just wants to sleep with me, he says. It's been 2 weeks since I let him when we had company over, and I figured he'd know by now that it's not going to happen.. I just dont' want THAT battle in a few years (sleeping in his bed) if I start letting him come to mine. Last night he was up from 11-2, again at 4, up for the day at 6.. he's a wreck. I tried to let him CIO for a while, and refused to rock him.. he wet himself standing there crying. I just can't figure it out!
Married 7/9/06
DD #1 11/11/09, MMC 8/15/12, MMC 3/4/13, DD #2 4/3/14 (4 weeks early)
It's like he forgot to self soothe! I know that rocking him to sleep has done him no favors, and I'm totally open to stopping that.. but he was sleeping fine and if he'd wake, I'd go in, rock for a minute and put him back down fully awake telling him to go to sleep, and he always would. I just can't figure out what's caused this. I'm going to *try* to hold strong, I wish I could tell if there's really some reason he thinks he needs me (nightmares? pain?) but there's just nothing I can point to. Of course I'm exhausted today and he's running like the energizer bunny. Go figure.
I had a similar experience with my son after we had very inconsistent sleeping arrangements - some nights he would sleep through, others he would come get in bed with us, etc. I finally reached the end of my rope and called a pediatric sleep consultant (yes, there actually is such a thing) and she recommended the book The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight by Kim West. It worked REALLY well. No method is perfect and we have certainly had set-backs here and there, but overall my son is sleeping much better and so are we. It is at least a simple, consistent strategy. We started in January and my son sleeps through the night 98% of the time with no crying.
Good luck!
So he slept through the night the night before last. BLISS! Then last night happened.. same freakin routine, type of jammies, daytime activity, nap time, etc.. and bam, he woke at 12, 1, 3, 4 and then 5:30 for the day. Seriously!? At this point he can put himself back to sleep fine, I no longer rock him, I go in and tell him to go back to sleep and he does. It's maddening. He has had 'issues' with the trifecta of things kids can control (the only things they can); eating, pooping and now sleep. I'm going to lose my ever-lovin' mind!
Well, he slept pretty good for 2 nights, just one wake each.. went in and tucked him in, told him to go back to sleep..he did. Then he spent the night at my parents' last night (which he does every 2 weeks, that is not new..) and pulled an all nighter. Up at 1:30, and 4 times after that, up at 6 for the day. Good grief. It's like he cannot get back to a 'deep' sleep, even though at this point he will go back to sleep on his own. Maybe it's time to call the doc.. I'm only hesitant because so far every concern I've had (pooping issues, eating issues) have been labeled 'behavioral' (non-medical) and we've been told it's a power struggle.
For the third night in a row, he's had 4+ wakes (12, 1, 3, 5, 6). I'm posting this here more to keep track than anything else. He was having a few better nights in between these awful ones but this is a long 'streak'. He seriously hasn't had more than a few hours of sleep at a time (other than 3 random STTN nights) for almost 6 weeks now.
Just updating.. no idea if this is what worked, but we bought him a full size (was in a twin) bed 2 nights ago and he's sttn both nights. Please please don't be a fluke...lol

Margot Louise, Margot Juliet, or Margot Penelope have to be my favorites. They just sound the best and make the most sense together. If you pair 2 syllable Margot with a 1 syllable name, it just sounds weird to me. I love the name Wren, but Margot Wren is very hard to say together with the 2:1 syllables and the R's being so close. Even though Margot Joy and Margot Faye are 2:1 syllables, they sound good together and have great flow. Maybe because of the middles ending with the -y sound?
So here are my picks/why:
- Margot Louise: Down to earth, friendly, not too frilly but still feminine!
- Margot Juliet: Just sounds so pretty together. Very unique.
- Margot Penelope: Down to earth, friendly, quirky and sweet!
- Margot Joy: Simple, sweet, down to earth, and friendly.
- Margot Faye: Mysterious yet mischievous; quirky and unique.aurora- autumn- ashwyn- bambi- bernadette- calliope- emmalou- henriette- indigo- ione- january- lark- leela- llewellyn- lydia- marnie- molly- narnia- noelle- oralee- penelope- philomena- rain- raven- roxy- ruby- snow- tessa- thora- waverly- willow- winter- wren- zoe | abel- aesop- angus- banjo- bartholomew- bear- bruce- burkley- darwin- elliot- finn- flynn- foster- henry- indigo - knox - laszlo - lyle - navy - nemo - noah - otis - oakley - rainn - thatcher - thomas - thompson - titus - zen

There hasn't been an NCAA player selected in the top five of the NHL Draft since 2006, but this June there could be two and both are in action this weekend in the 2015 NCAA Men's Hockey Tournament.
Jonathan Toews from North Dakota and Phil Kessel from the University of Minnesota were top-five picks in 2006. Nine years later, Boston University forward Jack Eichel and Boston College defenseman Noah Hanifin could be among the first five names called at the 2015 draft in Sunrise, Fla.
Eichel and Hanifin are two of the key players to watch in the NCAA tournament, which starts with four games Friday. There are also 107 NHL draft picks on the 16 rosters, according to College Hockey Inc., along with some undrafted players who should receive attention as free agents once their seasons are over.

Five years after Charley: Rough road back, but a better place
Hurricanes have no redeeming value.
That said, though, there is also opportunity in the aftermath, according to Charlotte County Administrator Roger Baltz.
"The results are that when you do rebuild, you have an opportunity to rebuild facilities and your infrastructure perhaps in better ways than they existed before," he said.
Take, for instance, the statistics of Hurricane Charley's destruction.
Of the 241 structures owned by the county, 169 were damaged on Aug. 13, 2004. Twenty-four were either destroyed or so badly damaged they had to be demolished.
Sixty-four county parks were closed. The county auditorium was damaged beyond repair. So, famously, was the emergency management operations center, and the entire public works complex plus many fire stations.
The list goes on.
Almost three miles — 14,168 feet — of fencing was damaged. And 107 light poles in parks. Ninety-seven traffic signals were damaged, and 42,000 signs.
And that just covers public property.
Throughout Charlotte County, an estimated 5,200 homes were damaged to the point that they were considered uninhabitable. Some 232 businesses had to close, the county estimates.
As anyone who was here on that August afternoon and the following weeks and months will tell you, it all added up to a good-sized mountain range of destruction.
How big?
Charlotte County ended up removing 454,521 tons of debris. That was a lot of truck trips, 53,784 to be exact. Thirty-five derelict boats were hauled away, 52 miles of fresh water canals unclogged of debris, 134 miles of tidal canals.
Five years later, most of the county's structures have come back, many stronger and more attractive than before. If there is any redeeming value to a hurricane — and there really isn't to the people who had to live through it — that's it.
Again, some numbers.
In 2004, 26,409 building permits were issued by the county, three times the number issued the previous year. This became a roofers' market; some 14,700 roofing permits were issued in 2004. Demolitions totaled 1,684. There were 3,122 mobile home replacements.
The county does not have precise figures on the number of businesses that have not reopened, but of the 3,863 companies surveyed in 2005, 2,561 were back in business. All commercial buildings deemed unsafe have been either removed or rebuilt in some fashion.
Residential housing
Charlotte County estimates that only 1 percent of all the homes damaged by the hurricane have not been "addressed." But that's probably pushing it.
"We have a lot of trouble getting our arms around the number that were lost," said Charlotte County Housing Manager Bob Hebert, who served as director of hurricane recovery in the years immediately following the storm. "We still have properties throughout the county that were severely damaged."
"There are still a lot of properties that are vacant or abandoned," he said, although the general housing bust of recent years has contributed mightily to that problem. "We're probably 80 percent done with the building from hurricane recovery, but I can't tell you what we actually lost."
What's come back is generally better, though, or at least more storm-resistant. Any structure that had at least 50 percent damage had to be rebuilt to stricter codes enacted following Hurricane Andrew. Newer mobile homes are stronger, too.
Public buildings
As for public facilities, all the traffic signals are back, as one might hope. In the place of the 42,000 damaged signs are now 45,723 signs.
The parks reopened. Actually, there are more now, because Charlotte proceeded with its parks-building program.
A new super-hurricane-resistant Emergency Operations Center was built, "by far, one of the best around the state from what I've seen," Baltz said.
The old auditorium was torn down and replaced with the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center. It's bigger, and many say it's beautiful and much better than the old place.
"It's unbelievable," said Julie Mathis, executive director of the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce.
Libraries have been improved, as well as the county jail. The Justice Center has a new roof and windows, the historic Charlotte County Courthouse renovated. Fire stations have been repaired or rebuilt. The Edgewater YMCA was demolished and rebuilt.
"If you take a look at what our community was before and after, it's a big difference," Baltz said.
It also took a lot of money.
Total costs by the county are pegged at more than $183 million, with $126 million paid so far by non-local sources. More than $30 million has been spent on public housing projects.
"It took a lot of people working hard and spending money to get things back," Baltz said, but all in all, "If you take a look at what our community was before and after, it's a big difference."
Business community
That's also the impression held by Mathis.
Punta Gorda, with its centerpiece Event Center and new hotels, is a jewel in the redevelopment crown, but the U.S. 41 corridor has also seen a dramatic improvement.
In addition, there are new hotels on Kings Highway and the new Microtel on U.S. 41. Businesses have been rebuilt with a newer, better look.
"If you go up and down 41, you will see many of the buildings have new facades and new signage and a refreshed look since the hurricane," Mathis said. "Unfortunately, some buildings were totally destroyed, but the buildings in their place are probably more eye-pleasing, more up to code, all the things that make a difference. All of this makes the community more appealing."
One of those businesses is Creating Masterpieces and Custom Picture Framing at 2681 U.S. 41, owned by Terri and Richard Wharfield.
Hurricane Charley destroyed many buildings on U.S. 41 near West Tarpon and Port Charlotte boulevards, but the Wharfields got off relatively easily.
They closed, of course, and remodeled, but got back in business quickly, which was far better than can be said for many of their neighbors.
"It was horrible to watch people's lives being dumped into Dumpsters," Terri Wharfield said.
Five years later, the shopping area has been redone, branded as The Walk of the Palms. The Wharfields have restructured their business for a different clientele, moving from crafts to an art gallery and framing shop.
"We're persevering and hoping for the best now," Terri said.
Morton's experience
So is Joe Waksler, the owner of Morton's Ace Hardware at 3035 U.S. 41.
After 25 years in business, Morton's was destroyed on Aug. 13, 2004. All that was left was a big propane tank, which Waksler and his employees kept operating for weeks to meet local needs.
Then came the rebuilding, a tough process made even tougher when Waksler discovered he was underinsured.
"It's probably the most disruptive thing that ever happened in my life," Waksler said. "It totally blew me away."
But starting "from scratch," the business was rebuilt quickly and became a model for local community redevelopment. Morton's reopened after Thanksgiving weekend in 2005, the first building in the area to go from zero to completion.
It was an extremely difficult 15 months, though. Like a prisoner counting the days until release, Waksler knows the time lost: 15 months, 14 days, 14 hours and 56 minutes from Charley until the doors opened again for business.
The new Morton's is nearly twice as big; it went from 4,500 square feet to 8,500 square feet of retail space. The ceilings are higher, the building more attractive and stronger.
"Hopefully, it's built to withstand anything that will come through," Waksler said. "It just really changed everything. The new place is fantastic."
But it came at a high price.
"(Hurricane Charley) changed the landscape, and part of it was good, but it definitely did some terrible things and the scars are definitely there," Waksler said.
Remember, of course, that hurricanes have no redeeming value.
"All in all, the best thing that came out of it is we got a brand-new, beautiful building," Waksler said. "We came back really well and really fast."
Five years later, it's a recurring theme.
As Mathis said, "Overall, as awful as the hurricane was, it revitalized our community. There are new things, new ideas, new people and all of that is positive for Charlotte County."
That's Hebert's view too.
"It's like an urban renewal program that we were forced into. I hope that we don't have to go through this again, but the reality is the community has done well."
And Baltz:
"I think the recovery effort that Charlotte County took after Hurricane Charley has been extraordinarily successful. The entire community should take pride in the aftermath."

The Easiest Halloween Costume of the Year Is . . .

Stockings get a bad rap. Coal, anyone? But on the bright side, stockings allow you to decide how big (or small) of a gift you want to give. Big things come in small packages, right? Watch and see the best beauty stocking stuffers of 2012. On Kirbie: H&M.
Need a quick costume idea? Mad Max's Imperator Furiosa, aka the powerful Charlize Theron, is quite possibly the easiest Halloween (or cosplay) idea out there this year. It takes zero prep work, looks great, and is an instant hit - everyone will know who you are when you walk into the room. Just grab a tan t-shirt (or DIY your own), gel your hair back to fake a cropped cut, and get generous with black eyeshadow and face paint. Don't forget your combat boots, either!
C-3PO is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication - probably not including emoji, but you can't win 'em all - so needless to say, the droid isn't lacking intelligence. Combine that with his shiny gold exterior and you have the makings of not only a smart but dare I say fabulous Halloween costume! We got our hands on the CoverGirl x Star Wars collection and decided to take our favorite character from the movie and give him a glam, feminine makeover. (But we are totally aware that because he is a droid, C-3PO is technically not man or woman.) Check out how to get this look for Halloween, straight from the drugstore! May the makeup force be with you. (Sorry, we had to.)
Halloween is my favorite holiday for a myriad of reasons: the candy, the costumes, Hocus Pocus, getting the living daylights scared of out me. (What? That's just me?) The biggest complaint about Halloween that most beauty girls have? There are too many costumes to plan. We all know that Halloween isn't just a one-night ordeal. You're probably going to get invited to a few Halloween parties, and costumes will be mandatory. Given a polyester Cinderella gown or a cat's tail can cost you upward of $50, it's time to get acquainted with a few sexy and creepy costumes that aren't only easy on your debit card, but also allow you to dress in chicer attire - like an LBD, leather jacket and miniskirt, or a jumpsuit. Your magic wand for the month will be eyeliner: all kinds! Pencil, pen, gel, liquid - all types of liner can be used to replicate these looks. Time to get in touch with your inner feline, bond with your bones, and tackle your arachnophobia!
Dark circles? Uneven skin tone? Or just sick of the same old, antiquated makeup looks? These helpful tricks for dark skin tones will get you out of a makeup rut. Beauty vlogger Destiny Godley joined this week's Beauty Junkie episode to demonstrate how you can instantly enhance your complexion, the modern way to fill in your brows, multimixing foundation techniques, and what looks can instantly age you - so stay far away from them!
Harley Quinn will be one of the biggest costumes this Halloween, with the sure-to-be blockbuster Suicide Squad out next year. Harley's new look has been somewhat controversial to DC Comic fans: it veers away from her signature red and black attire and jester mask and embraces a baseball tee and fishnets. But judging from how creepily beautiful Margot Robbie looks in the trailer, it's safe to say the makeover suits her! I decided to take on the infamous character, inspired by her look in the movie. I didn't have much to go from - just the trailer, a few paparazzi shots, and some Instagram photos - but I had a lot of fun getting into character. And let me just say that once you finish this costume, you'll want to kick some ass! Jezebel font.

Karsten Greve, born in 1946, studied law and art history in Cologne, Lausanne and Geneva. He started his career as an art dealer and publisher in 1969. Since 1970, together with Rolf Möllenhof, he operated the Möllenhof/Greve gallery. He opened the first of his own galleries at the beginning of 1973 with a debut showing of a solo exhibition by Yves Klein in the gallery building at LindenstraíŸe, Cologne.
His intimate face-to-face contact with foremost artists, such as Cy Twombly, Jannis Kounellis, John Chamberlain, Louise Bourgeois and others, provided the basis for his program's quality, which is defined by international avant-garde after 1945. Apart from Twombly, Kounellis, Chamberlain and Bourgeois, this includes artists like Joseph Cornell, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning, Pablo Picasso, Louis Soutter and WOLS.
During his 40 successful years as an international art dealer, Karsten Greve significantly contributed to the worldwide recognition of artists like Louise Bourgeois, John Chamberlain, Lucio Fontana, Gotthard Graubner, Jannis Kounellis, Piero Manzoni and Cy Twombly. In addition to this, the gallery also represents "young artists" for many years, like Norbert Prangenberg, Paco Knöller, Peter Schmersal, Leiko Ikemura, Loic Le Groumellec and Carole Seborovski, as well as the photographers Sally Mann, Adam Fuss and Lynn Davis.
The gallery's program is characterized through the high diversity of artistic genres represented. Painting, drawing and graphic arts, sculpture and installation as well as photography are all bound to classic benchmarks. Bibliophile catalogue editions do accompany the shows, corresponding to the artist's and exhibition's high quality.
Galerie Karsten Greve Cologne is now located in the center of the city, in a building classified as an architectural monument from the 50s, close to the "Museum für Angewandte Kunst — MAK†and the Cologne cathedral. Karsten Greve opened his other European galleries in Paris (in 1989), in Milan (in 1994) and in St. Moritz (in 1999).

"You can all go to hell…I'm going to the Alamo on the last Friday of every month at 9pm on my bike."
Communal existential wandering.
Company Overview
This is a monthly bike cruise through and around downtown San Antonio. We meet at the Alamo at 9pm on the last Friday of each month. Depart @ 9:30 sharp.
We will be leaving La Tuna at 9:00 PM SHARP to give us enough time to get to the Alamo to join the main group for the ride!
Hey guys I'll be visiting from San Angelo tonight and was wondering where La Tuna is at? And whether or not headlights a required?
0 · August 30, 2013
So for some clarity in light of last month's awkward start...we should arrive at the La Tuna parking area between 8:30 pm and 8:45 pm to give us time to get wheels down by 9:00 pm. The truth though is that the ride seems to start after 9:30 pm. So if you're a little late don't fret about it. Just make sure to be at the Alamo as close to 9:45 pm as possible. And we need more female participants (this according to a female participant).
0 · August 27, 2013
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

The Upper Carniola Region
Despite celebrating its 2000th birthday in 2014, Ljubljana has only been the capital of an independent nation since 1991. It is this curious mix of two thousand years of evolution combined with understandable youthful enthusiasm that has created the city we know and love today. The history of the Slovene nation is a history of a proud struggle against larger, stronger neighbours, be they Germanic to the north, Italian to the west, Hungarian to the east and Serbian and Croatian to the south. As such, Slovenia has seemingly taken the best of all these, added them to a strong inherent culture to create a cultural stew (bograč maybe) that we're thrilled to be in the centre of.
It might not be the biggest city in the world (in fact, with only 280,000 inhabitants it is one of Europe's smallest capitals and slightly smaller than Coventry), but Ljubljana uses this to its advantage and has a genuine cosmopolitan feel with all the comfort and friendliness of the smallest village. Take a geographical position that is the very definition of 'Central Europe', a long and proud tradition of culture and the arts and a relatively high quality of life, drop it in the middle of the Alps and you are on the right path to getting a feel for Ljubljana. We're now entering our 8th year of producing guides for Ljubljana from within the city itself, and our enthusiasm is far from waning.
Nature plays a big part in the lives of Slovenians, and just by opening your eyes it isn't hard to see why. The gorgeous lakes of the Gorenjska region are a short drive north, so be sure to check out our guide to Bled (and the surrounding area). The Istrian coast is just a throw of a stone to the west, and we've got that covered as well with our guide to Slovenian Istria. The east doesn't miss out, and our guide to Maribor (Slovenia's second city) will point you in the direction of arguably the best wine in this wine-mad country.
Officially part of the Schengen zone since late 2007 and nearly completely surrounded by other Schengen-agreement countries, entering Slovenia has never been easier. With a well-developed system of buses, trains and highways throughout the country, getting around is also fairly easy. The centre of Ljubljana is relatively small, meaning public transport is rarely, if ever, needed when in town.
